Someone closing a rant toward a right bellend with “I hope you step on a Lego” is now in the running with “JD Vance skis in jeans” for the sickest burn ever.

Is it too early to talk about the “centrepiece”. You can get a dozen roses at the local bodega for less than $20 and come up with something much prettier than this 💩

I would add “pain and cruelty” as well. Every action seems designed to inflict rather than prevent pain and cruelty.

Ruth Zakarin @ruthz.bsky.social · Aug 28

The constant question to ask with this administration is whether the action they’re taking actually works to keep people safe.

The answer will always be no. For them it’s never about safety and always about power and control.

But we have to keep asking the question and keep centering safety.

Back in the US for a few weeks and watching the shows. My hot take: Stop saying “Trump this and Trump that.” Start talking about Stephen Miller, Peter Thiel, Russell Vought as the (sick, twisted) brains behind everything that’s happening. Emasculate Trump, the puppet in this entire shit show.

Meaning a smart, informed, real reporter.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · Aug 19

REPORTER: If the point is to get everybody on the same page, why wouldn't Trump just take the call from Putin when the other leaders were in the room?

LEAVITT: Only a reporter from the New York Times would ask a question like that

This level of strategic petty is absolute genius. @natsechobbyist.bsky.social is a treasure.

UPDATE: I called Steve and asked him if he wanted to delete his post calling for the murder of my husband and me or should I have people call them all day and he hung up on me so I think that means he wants people to call his business all day.

Steve works at Carmichael Ace Hardware. Their phone number is 916-489-1999.

I’m hearing a lot of despair and “what’s the point”-ing.

Here’s the point:

ONE less person kidnapped by ICE.

ONE more child vaccinated.

ONE grant reinstated.

ONE more PEPFAR treatment.

ONE more meal to a hungry kid.

ONE more person covered by Medicaid.

One life is ALWAYS worth resistance.

Of course he did. And let’s see how 🇺🇸 🏈 fans feel about his executive order rebranding soccer as football. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-kept-g...

One of the many terrifying things. No one knows. Already people pretending to be ICE. We’re in for such a world of hurt and it’s all self-inflicted.

Take a moment to truly absorb that he’s making a joke about someone getting attacked by an alligator. He is heartless, cruel and so devoid of any moral compass.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · Jul 1

REPORTER: Is the idea that if some illegal immigrants escapes, they get eaten by an alligator or a snake?

TRUMP: I guess that's the concept. This is not a nice business. I guess that's the concept.

That he identified himself is way beyond what ICE thugs do. What the actual fuck, America?

CkLON @cdkrenzer.bsky.social · Jun 8

But how do people fight back, safely and effectively? It just seems like Trump and Co continue to steamroll each and every right people have and no one stops them. I call my (useless) rep often but it seems to fall on deaf (or just plain uninterested) ears.

Republicans snuck a line into their "big beautiful bill” that could CLOSE nearly 200 Planned Parenthood locations.

And guess what? 90% of those centers would be in states where abortion is LEGAL.

It’s one step closer to banning abortion nationwide.

RFK says we shouldn’t take medical advice from him?

Thanks, Captain Obvious, but also why are you the Secretary of HEALTH and Human Services if we can’t trust you with medical advice?
